I have to share this cute story about Cole...
Yesterday, we were pulling out of the Kroger parking lot (one street over from our neighborhood). It was 5PM and making a left hand turn at this time of day can be tricky, which is why I prefer to make several right hand turns and go the loooonnnnng way home. Well, the last time I turned right out of Kroger, Cole was EXTREMELY upset and yelled at me to turn around because we were going the wrong way. Each right hand turn I took...the angrier he got. Finally, I made one last right hand turn onto our street and suddenly Cole was speechless. Fast forward to yesterday....
I decided to make a right hand turn. Cole immediately questions my decision. I tell him that we are going the long way home. Cole: "Oh, yes. This time, Mommy, I'm going to TRUST you. I am not going to complain. Just FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS and go straight, Mommy. I will get us home!" Oh, boy was I laughing inside. I was glad that he was "trusting" me, but here he was still trying to give me directions. (Then I pondered...Isn't this how we "trust" God. "I'm going to trust you, God, but just do it THIS way"....)

I totally agree! We have a funny way of trusting sometimes. :-)
Kids do the funniest things. I put Amy in time out for opening the pantry without permission and as soon as she was out of time out I turned around and found her putting her doll in the same spot in time out and she was scolding her doll for opening the pantry. LOL! She's a mini me!!!!
